In this episode, Miles Leonard - a respected
record executive, tastemaker, and lifelong music fan - shares
rare insight into his years at the helm of Parlophone Records and
his close working relationship with Paul Weller during the
mid-2010s.

Miles was Director of A&R between April 1995 and May 2003,
before stepping up to chairman - a role he held until 2012 when
he was made Chairman of Parlophone & Warner Records. He left
the role in 2018, to set up his my own company Viva La Music,
whilst also working as A&R/Creative executive to Warner
Music.

With a career spanning decades and a reputation for championing
creative talent (from Kylie to Coldplay, The Beta Band to Dr.
John), Miles recounts what drew him to Paul Weller, how he signed
him to Parlophone, and the collaborative spirit that shaped three
of Paul Weller’s albums: Saturns Pattern, A Kind
Revolution, and True Meanings.
